crazy! fun! Someone.... me...needs to get my butt to the Barn and refresh.

On the home front....Home Tour Time.

For all of you who have come to the Holiday Home Tour that I host every year, you will remember that I go a little over the top.

I feel like I need to put on a show.... after all it is not all about the tree... it is about seeing how Christmas can be displayed in different ways in other peoples homes. How mixing Vintage collections in with your own Holiday treasures can be magnificent. You also see different paint techniques on walls, floors, doors and kitchen cupboards... and then you take all that inspiration and go home and create.

Over the top!!

I always start with clearing all the table tops and mantels. Clean. Clean. Clean some more. Then it is all about a vision and props... bringing out my special vintage collections... moving things around..

this is just a start...props, collections...moving things around the house to achieve my vision... after taking this photo, I moved the book and added a vintage table top candelabra that lights up within the tree. It looks fabulous and will look even better when I bring out my garlands and ornaments to decorate the tree.

this is just a start....

below is a picture of everything that was once on the table tops... now, a new home for them some where in the house. I always say.... you have to make a mess before you can create.

You can't create anything new without first dismantling what you have.

Beautiful photos lady!! Would you still have the serendipity christmas ornament? If so - can I buy from you? What about the 3 off-white bottle brush Christmas trees in the first picture? I would take those as well if you have them still!! As always - everything looks amazing and I'm sure your home will be all that and more!!! Thanks!!! Robin Wilt

The Round Barn Potting Company is an adventure in design and decor. I began this adventure June 01, 2007. The blog reflects my style, which is a mix of vintage and architectural pieces, casually blended with new product. My home is a place to come for daily rejuvenation and inspiration. I will post as many pictures as I can. I will fill the online shop when I can and can ship almost all merchandise in the US. You can always check on product that you see by emailing me at rbpottingco@aol.com
